For 15 seasons, Michael Jordan wowed us with his feats of athleticism. In retirement, he’s still making our jaws drop, but it’s his off-court choices, rather than his on-court accomplishments, that have us awed.
Simply put, His Airness makes some questionable fashion decisions. Many have quietly wondered about it when Jordan would make a public appearance wearing some ridiculous get-up and thought, “Can’t Hanes or Nike give this guy something acceptable to wear?”
Nobody wanted to be the first one to say it out loud, though. He may look ridiculous, but he’s still MJ, and nobody wants to be the first person to call out the greatest individual basketball player ever.
Until now.
A fearless soul has set up wtfismikewearing.tumblr.com, a photo blog dedicated to Jordan’s many wardrobe malfunctions.
There’s the tucked-in golf shirt with torn jeans look, the courtside Barney look and whatever is going on here. Meanwhile, he’s called out for every mock turtleneck, upholstery blazer and gaudy bauble.
It’s all in fun, though, because nobody other than Jordan can pull together an ensemble that says “Look, it doesn’t matter what I wear. I’m 48, retired and I could still drop 20 points a night.”

Don’t blame MJ for looking agitated. Wouldn’t you be, wearing that?

No slight to Freddy intended, but second and third base have worked out pretty well for the Sox, haven’t they?
VIDEO OF THE DAY
Lockout or no, this seems like a very, very bad idea, Mr. Jackson. Especially on video.
